Kesang lives with his mother, 1 brother, and 2 sisters. His mother is an agriculture laborer and struggles to provide for the family. Despite her efforts, it is difficult to meet the family's needs.
Kesang is growing up in a poor community located south of New Delhi, the capital of India. Homes are constructed of wood with tin roofs and dirt floors. A typical family diet consists of rice, potatoes and beans. It is very dry in this region, with temperatures ranging from highs over 90 degrees to lows just over 30 degrees. The mountainous terrain is rocky and dry with trees and grasses.
